  • Saturday Tunes

    Late December. No mans land for all things blog heavy! I have lots of heavy thoughts floating around that will be fantastic blog posts one day. But the simple reality is that it’s a good time to just chill out and not try to change the world too much this time of year. Truth is, had Luther posted his 95 Thesis in the week between Christmas and New Years the movement now known as Protestantism would have never gotten off the ground.

    Nice weather returns to San Diego today. With that in mind, Kristen and I are hoping to take the kids to the Ocean Beach Pier. We’ve wanted to walk out there and it looks like today is the day!

    As I wait for it to warm up outside (currently 41, high of 61) I’m jamming to some music. Here are the next 10 songs on my playlist. As always, completely random and ratings included.

    #1 Drifter by Decemberadio *****

    #2 Take Me by Vineyard Generation ****

    #3 One Step Closer (Live) by Linkin Park *****

    #4 New York by Cat Power ***

    #5 Black Water by The Doobie Brothers ****

    #6 Only One by Lifehouse ****

    #7 All Creatures of our God and King by David Crowder Band ***

    #8 Counting Blue Cars by Dishwalla ****

    #9 Walkin’ by Miles Davis *****

    #10 New Soul by Yael Naim *****

    saturday tunesSaturday beckons across Michgan land. With the Spartans eliminated from the Big Dance last night, basketball takes a backseat today. Today we have some do-it yourself stuff to finish in the house. Yuck.

    Here are the next 10 tunes playing in my ears this Saturday morning. As always, this is completely random, no cheating, with ratings included.

    1. No Plan B by Group 1 Crew ****
    2. Long Train Runnin’ by The Doobie Brothers ****
    3. Treason by Kutless ****
    4. Do What You Have to Do by Sarah McLaughlin ****
    5. Nothing is Impossible by Vicky Beeching ****
    6. Fallin’ by Alicia Keys ****
    7. Strong by Audio Adrenaline ****
    8. Your Love by The Outfield ****
    9. Healed by Nicole Nordeman ****
    10. Enough by Chris Tomlin ****

    Weird that it chose ten 4 Star songs in a row. And… iTunes is apparently slightly depressed. Got some tunes you’re listening to this sunny Saturday?

    saturday tunesThis week I got a new MacBook. (not the Air, a black MacBook since I wasn’t impressed with the Air. Just to clarify!) In the course of moving over 40gb of data I wasn’t able to import all of my ratings from iTunes into the new computer. Total bummer on that. The result is that I have to start over with my ratings… all 5,000 songs now have to be re-rated. That said, today’s edition of the Saturday Tunes is going to be especially random. As usual, these are the next 10 tunes coming out of my iTunes shuffle, no cheating and ratings included.

    1. Walkin’ by Miles Davis ****
    2. Searching by Jadon Lavik **
    3. Pomp and Circumstance ** <– graduation song, too funny
    4. The Beginning by Lifehouse **
    5. Hidden Track by Shaun Groves * (this song is so annoying, I like it but the mix is so odd, there is a girl on the recording from the audience who kills the song)
    6. Restore by Daystar **
    7. It’s Like Me by Kutless **
    8. Listen to the Music by The Doobie Brothers ****
    9. I Can Wait by Out of the Grey *
    10. In My Place by Coldplay *** (Gotta be depressed to like this one)
